An Urban Baseball Adventure
September 11-17, 2023: 7 Days, 5 Games, 1 City
Tokyo is the best city in the world, per an unofficial poll of past JapanBall guests and an official declaration by Condé Nast. Plus, the extended Tokyo area has five NPB teams/stadiums and the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame!
So, we figure we ought to offer you the opportunity to pass on the hassle of packing, unpacking, and traveling between cities and let one of the metropolitan wonders of the world be your base for a week. It will be an urban baseball adventure like no other in the world!
Worried that you may be missing out on some of the fun? Worry not, because four of the games overlap with our See-It-All Tour group!
We recommend this tour for two types of travelers:
- Those who want less travel time and more free time to explore.
- Those who have physical limitations that would make it difficult to change locations with their luggage multiple times.
You can combine this tour with the South Korea Tour! To better visualize the tour dates, click here to download a calendar version of our Japan and Korea schedules.
Japan has Covid-related travel requirements. Guests will likey need to either be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or present a negative Covid test, amongst other requirements. Visit the website of the US Embassy in Japan for current information.
